Title: Waterford ashtray.
Post by: Paul S. on September 07, 2024, 01:42:06 PM
put like that it doesn't sound very attractive ;)  -  there are one or two on ebay I notice - so really just for show  -  quite attractive with the two bands of substantial mitres running round the outside.                A good paperweight too  -  the backstamp is the typical Gothic script used prior to 2000, but I forget offhand when that particular mark started life.     The mark is difficult to photograph plus half of the mark appears not to have come out.    Very heavy - diameter is c. 3.25 inches  -  I think a much better use is as a master salt :)

Happily it has a couple of spoon rests!

too true John  -  but I'm still inclined to think the best alternative use would be as a salt. ;D
